No Cost, No Obligation

Get a No-Obligation Fit Assessment

Find out if we're a fit before anyone spends a dollar. You run a shop, not an IT department. Deciding whether to replace QuickBooks and spreadsheets, move off an aging JobBoss or E2 install, or put real data on your floor is not a call you should have to make from a sales pitch. This is a short, no-obligation conversation: you tell us what you're running and what isn't working, and we tell you straight whether we can help, whether you're ready yet, and what we'd do first. If we're not the right call, we'll say so.

What It Is (and Isn't)

A 30-Minute Conversation, Not a Demo in Disguise

This is not a paid engagement and it is not a demo in disguise. It is 30 minutes with someone who has done this work before, so you leave knowing more than you came in with, whether or not we ever work together.

GO
What you get
A plain read on where you stand, what is worth doing first, and what it would realistically take.
GO
What it costs
Nothing, and there is no commitment after it.
What we ask of you
Answer a few questions below so the conversation is useful from minute one.
Who This Is For

We'll Also Tell You If You're Not a Fit Yet

Small and mid-sized Midwest manufacturers, roughly 10 to 249 employees, running QuickBooks and spreadsheets or an older JobBoss or E2 system. In the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region we work on-site. Across the broader industrial Midwest we work remotely and consultatively.

GO
A good fit
10 to 249-person shops on QuickBooks and spreadsheets, or an aging JobBoss or E2 install.
Where we work on-site
The Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region. Remote and consultative across the broader Midwest.
NO
Not a fit yet
Very high-mix, high-complexity machine shops are where these projects churn hardest. We would rather earn that work later than sell it to you now and watch it struggle.
Tell Us Where You Stand

Enough to Qualify, Not a Questionnaire

The short intake below is all we need to start. Keep it light: enough for us to make the conversation useful from minute one, not a homework assignment.

Your name and shop
Who you are and where you run.
Roughly how many people you employ
A ballpark headcount is fine.
What you are running today
QuickBooks and spreadsheets, JobBoss, E2, or something else.
The one thing that is not working
One line is fine.
How to reach you
We'll get back to you within one business day.

Why Trust the Read

The Kind of Answer You Get Before a Contract, Not After

Next Industrial is the manufacturing practice of Seven Hills Technology, a Cincinnati software consultancy delivering custom software since 2015. We recently advised a $750M specialty manufacturer against a multi-million-dollar AI build, because their data wasn't ready to support it, and told them to build the data foundation first. That is the kind of answer you get from us before a contract, not after.

Inherited Trust

Powered by Seven Hills Technology

You get proof most new brands can't offer on day one: a decade of delivery, a Midwest team you can meet, and clients who've stayed with us for years.

A decade of delivering custom software
A Midwest team you can meet in person
Clients who've stayed with us for years
The technical depth that the team was able to comprehend and the consultative nature of the interaction was impressive. They were able to provide a feasible roadmap and an "MVP" approach to move us forward without spending millions of dollars... 7 Hills stood out as the one company that was interested in understanding the problem.
